Alpinestars Clothing

I purchased this jacket as I needed to update my Textile riding gear, most other jackets in my price range I looked at came with a Velcro front flap covering the zipper. This jacket met all of my requirements, it has elbow and shoulder protection fitted and I have also added chest and back protection.
The jacket is soft to the touch and so far has been 100% waterproof. It has great fit but is also very adjustable, the air vents work well and it has plenty of pockets. I also just purchased the matching trousers. 10 out of 10.

Usual high quality product you come to expect from alpinestars. Sizing is lightly always going to be a small issue as my previous where an XL and they where slightly too tight even after waring them for a while so i got a 2XL in these and I'd say they're only just slightly on the large side. Tbf you'd have to have so many sizes to be able to cater to everyone individually so I can't really mark down on that, although I'd size up from some others as I measure as a L however I'd previously tried a L and they where far too small.

I replaced my old Copper V2 with the new V3, purchased on a great bargain from SBS — and for £150, it was absolutely worth it. At this price point, I’m satisfied.
What I liked
• Much more comfortable than the V2.
• Looser fit, especially around the thighs, but without becoming baggy.
• I can now pull the leg over my sneaker, which wasn’t possible with the V2.
• Despite both being size 38, the V3 is more forgiving and less tight.
• Colour retention is excellent — the black stays properly black.
• Bigger, more practical pockets.
• Comfortable belt loops.
• Adjustable knee protector — finally.
• Softer material, more pleasant to wear.
What I didn’t like
• The new knee protector feels like a downgrade. It creases, folds and feels cheap. I swapped it back to the V2 protector, which is far more comfortable.
• The inner lining clearly shows cost-cutting. The V2 had a full inner layer; the V3 uses a fragile mesh that easily catches your foot when putting the jeans on.
• The inner material is less comfortable overall — brands like REV’IT do this part better.
• Although I’m a standard size 38, the V3 looks a bit like “Cossack pants” when walking. On the bike it’s fine, but off the bike the V2 looked better.
Conclusion
For the £150 bargain price, the V3 is a good buy with several improvements in comfort.
However, at full retail price I would personally choose the REV’IT Philly instead, as it offers a more refined inner lining and overall better comfort.

This is a superb jacket , looks the bomb also !

Really comfortable could wear them all day good size look really good well happy with them would buy again

Happy so far, fits my small Alpinestar Bogota jacket. Not too heavy.
